David Byrne - Tree (today Is An Important Occasion) [knee Play 1] lyrics

Today is an important occasion.

She thinks that she must wear the right clothes.

The right combination of clothes - will make her lucky.

But there are specific kinds of luck - and different kinds are are needed - for different occasions:

'A blue dress for intuition'

'The grey shirt and maroon slacks - for making strong statements'

'The navy pullover - and her woollen skirt - for discovering mystery'

She thinks of what she wore - on a similar occasion - like the one she will be involved in today.

Particularly a similar occasion - that was successful for her.

She lies on the bed - and imagines herself in a variety of outfits.

She quickly narrows - the range of possibilities.

She tries them on - in a few combinations.

The striped shirt - and corduroy slacks.

The red dress.

She leaves the house - the outcome - is certain.
